not eligible anymore for services?

The scores look to be right in line with ability to me, at this point. I would not have him automatically retested, I would do so if grades drop, teacher expresses concern, etc.

It sounds like that an early intervention plan worked for him. My nephew is currently in an Early Intervention Program, and I hope they are as successful with him as they are with your child. It may be that he never had a learning disability, perhaps he just matured a little more slowly than other kids. This is not entirely uncommon.

Yes I agree with the others that those scores do look good now. You should ask yourself tho, are the scores up now because he RECEIVED services, or are they up because he is RECEIVING services? For example, are his scores up because he received extra help, or are they up because he is allowed accommodations which he may still need, like oral test taking or such? If he is now performing at grade level without extra help or accommodations, then he probably no longer needs the extra services, altho you should keep an eye on him to make sure he does not fall behind again. But if he needs an ongoing service or accommodation to keep his scores up, then you should keep that service or accommodation.

He is not receiving any accomadations during tests. He takes them just like the other kids with no help( orally, etc.) He nows goes with his support teacher maybe 2 a week and she reviews his multiplication and anything the teacher thinks he can use some extra help with. Spelling and writing sentences are hard for him. He gets real frustrated. He hates homework but so does my other boy who does well in school. I’m hoping it was maturity like you said but that seems to good to be. Socially he is still shy but getting better. Thank-you for all of your help!Alice wrote:

Hello,
Just a thought, You may want to ask a about a 504plan or some way to follow him for the next year or so to be sure he continues to do well. We had our daughter removed last year from an ed plan for the same reason and today I am going for an assessment meeting to have her re-evaluated because she is doing poorly. This process would have been much quicker had she not been complete removed from special Ed. and it has been hard watching her fail this year. Some sort of follow up plan would have helped I think.
Also there is a great article in the indepth section under assessmentscalled “Understanding Tests and Measurements for the Parent and Advocate” It’s long but informative.
Good Luck,
Renee
